I get that wrestlers are showmen, and that it takes a certain amount of shamelessness to set foot in one of those rings (not necessarily shameless in a bad way), but man you'd have to pay me a lot of money to look like that. Especially if I had that physique.
 
Anyone found a reddit where couch detectives are trying to manhunt this guy? Would like to rubberneck the slow speed crash.

I saw where ppl have identified the backpack as a brand typically popular with photographer enthusiasts.

He may not be a “pro” in the true sense. But it’s very clear he put a lot of work and premeditation into this. The shell casing inscriptions, having an apparently untraceable e-bike planted a block away, footage of him talking on the phone minutes before the shooting… after learning all this I’d be surprised if he’s still in Manhattan.

He’s obviously not going to get away though. So either they’ll catch him very soon or he’ll take his own life or both. I just hope he doesn’t involve anyone else and try to go down in a blaze.

What do you mean, get away? Get out of NYC, or "get away with it" in terms of not being caught for quite some time?

If the facial recognition software says the hostel photos are a match -- and I've got to think they have used face recognition software -- then I will trust that over the human eye.

I'm not saying its not him. Just that I'd like to learn more about why they think this hostel photo is him before i'm convinced.

He’s a folk hero on Reddit, no one’s trying to find him.

The latter.

But for now, I just want him to get the fuck outta Manhattan. We especially don’t need him heading toward the Rockefeller Tree or Times Square and trying to go big. Doesn’t seem likely given the M.O. so far, and what is apparently a pointed crusade of some sort. But still.

Got it. I tend to agree, unless he has some assistance we don't know about. Gotta admit that it would be hilarious for him to show up to claim asylum in the Russian Embassy:

Putin: We will show those Americans they are not invulnerable, as we will target their executives as they target ours.
Americans: We actually DGAF about that guy.
 
I wouldn't be shocked if he is gone at this point. He planned this out well. The next step very well may have been catching a one-way redeye flight from LaGuardia to Amsterdam on a ticket he bought weeks ago. Did the authorities delay any flights yesterday?
 
"Police believe the shooter used a B&T Station Six, known in Great Britain as a Welrod pistol, according to police sources. The gun doesn't have a silencer but does have a long barrel that enables the 9 mm to fire a nearly silent shot. The gun requires manually cycling ammunition from the magazine.

The weapon is not easily attainable so investigators have been running down all recent purchases, according to police sources. NYPD detectives arrived Thursday at a gun shop in Connecticut that sold a weapon of the same type, sources said."

That’s some dumb reporting. A long barrel doesn’t do anything to reduce the report of gunfire. If anything, a longer barreled 9mm would make it more likely for the bullet to go supersonic, even when using lower pressure 147gr ammo.
